A Wasserstein-based measure of conditional dependence

Negar Kiyavash, Seyed Jalal Etesami, Kun Zhang

Measuring conditional dependencies among the variables of a network is of great interest to many disciplines. This paper studies some shortcomings of the existing dependency measures in detecting direct causal influences or their lack of ability for group ...

A birth-death-migration model for life in astrophysical environments

Claudio Grimaldi

To assess the number of life-bearing worlds in astrophysical environments, it is necessary to take the intertwined processes of abiogenesis (birth), extinction (death), and transfer of life (migration) into account. We construct a mathematical model that i ...

Distributionally Robust Optimization with Markovian Data

Daniel Kuhn, Mengmeng Li, Tobias Sutter

We study a stochastic program where the probability distribution of the uncertain problem parameters is unknown and only indirectly observed via finitely many correlated samples generated by an unknown Markov chain with d states. We propose a data-driven d ...

A General Framework for Optimal Data-Driven Optimization

Daniel Kuhn, Tobias Sutter

We propose a statistically optimal approach to construct data-driven decisions for stochastic optimization problems. Fundamentally, a data-driven decision is simply a function that maps the available training data to a feasible action. It can always be exp ...

Structure of multicorrelation sequences with integer part polynomial iterates along primes

Florian Karl Richter

Let T be a measure-preserving Zℓ-action on the probability space (X,B,μ), let q1,…,qm:R→Rℓ be vector polynomials, and let f0,…,fm∈L∞⁡(X). For any ϵ>0 and multicorrelation sequences of the form α⁡(n)=∫Xf0⋅T⌊q1⁡(n)⌋⁢f1⋯T⌊qm⁡(n)⌋⁢fmd⁢μ we show that there exis ...

Predicting involuntary hospitalization in psychiatry: A machine learning investigation

Mehdi Gholam

Background Coercion in psychiatry is a controversial issue. Identifying its predictors and their interaction using traditional statistical methods is difficult, given the large number of variables involved. The purpose of this study was to use machine-lear ...

Towards Interactions Through Differentiable-Non-Differentiable Scale Transitions In Scale Relativity Theory

Maria-Alexandra Paun

It is shown that, in the framework of Scale Relativity Theory, correlations of type informational entropy/cross entropy - probability density, in the description of the dynamics of any complex system, can be perceived as interactions. Explaining these inte ...

Tighter thermodynamic bound on the speed limit in systems with unidirectional transitions

Daniel Maria Busiello, Deepak Gupta

We consider a general discrete state-space system with both unidirectional and bidirectional links. In contrast to bidirectional links, there is no reverse transition along the unidirectional links Herein, we first compute the statistical length and the th ...

Distributionally Robust Optimization with Polynomial Densities: Theory, Models and Algorithms

Daniel Kuhn

In distributionally robust optimization the probability distribution of the uncertain problem parameters is itself uncertain, and a fictitious adversary, e.g., nature, chooses the worst distribution from within a known ambiguity set. A common shortcoming o ...
